mysql problems

I just got a new dedicated server. However, mysql root seems to already have a password and i have no idea what it is. It is running redhat and what not. Can i just re-install mysql? just by getting the rpm and intalling it or do i have to remove something or what?

Based on your question, you seem to on a rpm based distro. So i&#039;d suggesting &quot;erasing&quot; the mysql rpm and re-installing a new one (preferably from src)..
